"I'll tell you what my husband told me when he was dying. I said, 'Mo, how am I going to live without you?' And he said, take the love that you have for me and spread it around.'" It was a moment that moved Brandon Stanton to tears. The 29-year-old self-taught photographer is behind the hugely popular "Humans of New York" blog and now book.
